Black Bean opens on James Island

Energy food for all you vegans out there

After an exhaustive renovation of an old Church’s fried chicken on Folly Road, the new Black Bean Co. is finally open to the public.

Owner Ellis Grossman has spent many months transforming the space into a funky little café designed to appeal to the energy food seekers. You’ll find a similar menu as the Spring Street location (wraps, burritos, power gyros, and fresh salads) with the addition of breakfast.

They have vegan baked goods, coffee, and items like egg florentine breakfast wrap and vegan pancakes with real maple syrup. They’re open seven days a week at 869 Folly Road. (843) 277-2101.
